DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others, All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol,

"WARNING." These words meam

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the

reach of children.

• When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic

items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

= To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to

play in or on the dishwasher.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas isflammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Remove the door to the washing compartment when

removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS

BeforeUsing Your

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Dishwasher

Tip Over Hazard Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

• For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher: The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event

of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro- priate outlet that is installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative ifyou are in

doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• For a permanently connected dishwasher: The dishwasher must be connected to a

grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run

with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

dishwasher.

Electrical Shock Hazard Electrically ground dishwasher. Connect ground wire'to green ground connector

in terminal box. Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

• Install where dishwasher is protected from'the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible

rupture of fill valve. Such ruptures are not covered by

the warranty. See "Storing Your Dishwasher" inthe

"Caring for Your Dishwasher" section for winter storage information.

• Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will holdthe

weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

• Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors

(such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing.

See Installation Instructions for complete information.

START-UPGUIDE

LOADINGYOUR

Before using your dishwasher, remove all hang tags,

temporary labels, and packaging materials. Read this

entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

Using YourNew Dishwasher

1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.

2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Loading Your

Dishwasher.") Make sure nothing prevents the spray

arm(s) from spinning freely.

3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See "Using Your Dishwasher.")

DISHWASHER

Loading Suggestions

• Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse

the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. The wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which will

reduce the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds

are normal when hard items enter the module. Do notlet

metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the

wash module. Damage can occur.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all

soiled surfaces.

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain

from all surfaces.

4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher

Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water.

5. Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See "Using Your Dishwasher.") Press START.

Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie

sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm

rotation. Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not

plan to wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if

they are left to dry over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.

• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
